Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Are You Dating?
Pei Yao thought of Qiao Yun appearing at the seminar, outsmarting a group of arrogant scholars with her IQ, and couldn’t help but enjoy the commotion it caused.
“Which identity do you want to use to go? MR.Q? Professor Qiao? Boss Qiao? They have invited all three.”
Since Pei Yao had met Qiao Yun, she had already been spending all her time in the laboratory, and back then, she was only eight or nine years old.
As Qiao Yun achieved more, to ensure her safety, to the outside world, she was just Professor Qiao, a student of MR.Q, and only a few important people knew her true identity and that she was also the real boss of Shengqiao Group.
He deeply suspected that Qiao Yun’s brain had been implanted with a chip; otherwise, why was her IQ so high that it surpassed what ordinary people could comprehend.
Qiao Yun replied with an indifferent tone, “Just going to have a look.”
She would go because she thought of Lu Zhanxing in Hai City.
Pei Yao raised an eyebrow, “Just to make an appearance and not to participate in the conference?”
Qiao Yun nodded.
Pei Yao: Ah, no melons to eat then.
“Oh, and Mr. Qi told me to remind you, if you go to Hai City, remember to catch up with him. That old man keeps talking about you in my ear every day, so annoying.”
Pei Yao was Qiao Yun’s go-between; anyone who wanted to contact Qiao Yun had to go through him.
Therefore, he was often bothered and couldn’t even get angry at these old men; what if he accidentally angered them to death?
Qiao Yun’s eyes lifted slightly, her expression shifted a bit, and after a long while she said, “I’ll see when the time comes.”
Pei Yao sighed internally. Qiao Yun wasn’t this cold back when Professor Qiao was still around.
After Professor Qiao passed away, Qiao Yun seemed to have sealed herself off, refusing to engage with the outside world, as if she was afraid of something.
That’s why Pei Yao wholeheartedly approved of Qiao Yun’s decision to return to the Lu Family.
But it had little effect.
“If those old men knew about your treatment in the Lu Family… tsk tsk, I can’t even imagine.” Pei Yao shivered; those people were extremely protective, and their slightest movements could affect the entire country’s economy.
Qiao Yun wondered, “I am doing well in the Lu Family.”
“We bystanders don’t think so,” Pei Yao disagreed with her view.
“Who are you? Although you’re not under the state’s jurisdiction, you’re still an important national protected figure. For a divine being like you, it’s a sin even to have you pour a cup of water, and yet they let little figures jump around in front of you.”
Qiao Yun didn’t say a word.
Pei Yao might not have a high IQ, but he certainly had a vivid imagination.
The two chatted for a while longer before parting ways.
Pei Yao asked Qiao Yun, “Shall I give you a ride?”
“No need, it’s not far.” Qiao Yun declined; it only took about fifteen minutes to walk to the Lu Family.
“Alright then.” After Pei Yao got into his car, he asked casually, “Who are you going to the amusement park with?”
Qiao Yun looked at him quietly for a while before saying, “Li Miao.”
She didn’t mention that Li Hanzhou was also there; she didn’t know why, but it felt better not to say it.
Pei Yao was relieved. It wasn’t that he was being nosy; Professor Qiao was just too naive in matters of the heart, and he was worried Qiao Yun might get played.
After watching Pei Yao leave, Qiao Yun turned and headed towards the Lu Family.
At the same time, across the street, Lu Xue captured this scene and said with disdain, “Qiao Yun really knows how to cling to influential figures, first Li Miao and now President Pei.”
“How come her relationship with President Pei is so good? Coming out together from a lovers’ check-in spot, are they dating?”
Lu Ting’s eyes flickered, “Don’t overthink it, my sister and President Pei have a good relationship. He even specially came to pick her up when school started; they’re just friends.”
Hearing this, Lu Xue became more certain of her guess, thinking how skillfully Qiao Yun chose people to cozy up to. Truly vain.
She watched Qiao Yun’s retreating figure.
A face full of mockery.
